Hi George,

Press Left Alt + '(@) to bring up Armament Selection Window.

George,

At the moment, you can only load weapons to a freshly spawned airframe. The DSMS facilities are not yet modelled.

Hi,

Does the countermeasures work?

I can’t get anything to dispense.

Thanks

They're automatic unless you select override. Haven't been able to fathom them out myself yet either.

The main thing is to turn everything on I suspect. The panel in front of the stick has a highly covert on button on the row of dark and indistinct buttons and lights, the one you want being on the right next to the two small rotaries.

[Andy212223]

Yeah spotted all those.

I’ve pressed, turned and hit everything and no fireworks lol

[Andy212223]

Sorted.

Select bypass then hit flares / on aft or what ever it is. Not dispense.

From Jeff Mayse over in the DCS FB Group ...

"Temporary fix for hornet load out. Load 2 of each type A2G weapons you may want to take on a subsequent trip, ie. 2 83, 82, Zuni, 2.75, and 99. Do this before you turn on battery. Then start airplane normally. After start load whatever combination of the previous weapons, ie. all 82, Zuni and 83, whatever. They will work and you can load any combination of those 5 every time you reload.

This must be done every re-slot."

Hi, you do know you have to have Master Arm on arm, to dispense flares and Chaff, likewise to use selective jettison you have to have your master arm to arm.
